Consider the different parts of the day,for example.The time of the day when something is done can give a 42 meaning to the event.It is not a 43 to telephone someone very early in the morning.If you telephone him early in the day, 44 he is shaving or having breakfast,the time of the call shows that something is urgent and 45 immediate attention.
The same meaning is 46 telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m.If someone receives a call during sleeping hours,he may think it is a 47 of life and death.The time chosen for the call 48 its importance.
